Metering

If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the metering method to take brighter pictures.

[Multi] (

) : Exposure will be calculated

 

 

 

based on an average of

the available light in the

 

 

 

image area. However, the

 

 

 

calculation will be biased

 

 

 

towards the centre of the

image area. This is suitable

 

 

 

 

for general use.

 

 

[Spot] (

) : Only the rectangular area in the centre of the LCD

 

monitor will be metered for light. This is suitable

 

when the subject in the centre is exposed correctly,

 

regardless of the back lighting.

 

 

[Center Weighted] (Manual backgroundManual backgroundManual background)

:Exposure will be calculated based on an average of the available light in the image area. However, the calculation will be biased towards the centre of the image area. This is suitable for taking a picture of small object like a flower or insects.

ÄIf the subject is not the centre of the focus area, do not use the spot metering as this may result in an exposure error. In this circumstance, it is better to use exposure compensation.

Drive mode

You can select single, continuous, motion capture, and AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing).

[Single] (

)

: Take one picture only.

 

 

[Continuous] (

) : Images will be taken

 

 

 

 

continuously until the

Drive

 

 

 

shutter button is

 

 

 

 

released.

 

 

[Motion Capture] (

) : This takes 5 shots

Back

per second, when

 

 

 

 

 

 

the shutter is pressed and held down. After

 

 

completing the continuous shooting, images

 

 

are saved and the images play back on the

 

 

Rear LCD. The maximum number of shots is

 

 

30 and the image size is fixed as VGA.

[AEB] (

)

: Take three pictures in a series in different

 

 

exposures: standard exposure (0.0EV),

 

 

short exposure (-1/2EV) and over exposure

 

 

(+1/2EV).

 

 

High resolution and picture quality increases file saving time, which increases stand-by time.

If the [Continuous], [Motion Capture], [AEB] sub menu is selected, the flash will be off automatically.

If less than 3 pictures are available in the memory, the AEB shooting is not available.

It is best to use a tripod for the AEB shooting as the time to save each image file is longer and blurring caused by camera shake may occur.
